I am going to try to become a runner. Couch to 5K here I come. I have seen a mention or two of this program on a few blogs, but have never actually seen anyone comment in detail. Anyone trying this/tried this? Any suggestions or advise? I hate, hate, hate running! I am hoping that I can be motivated enough to do this!
I completed it! I downloaded it as an app on my iPod touch and used it to train myself to run outdoors. I was previously a slave to the treadmill. It totally worked!
ReplyDeletea friend and I have just started. So far so good. While I can't IMAGINE running for 30 minutes straight, I can absolutely manage the 1-minute runs broken up by 90-second walks.... I think the key is to be consistent so that you build up the endurance. Download a good podcast so you don't have to mess with timers and such and give it a whirl. Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with doing the 5K !
ReplyDeleteI'm not up to running as yet - only just up to 3.8 on the treadmill with a 6 incline and the bike up to an "8" - so it will be a while before I can try a 5K.
I hate, hate running too. If you can do it Tracey - maybe it will inspire me!
